She makes sure he is still asleep and reaches for the phone he is holding. Rafe wakes up with a start. "What's going on?!" She pretends she was trying to calm him down as he was thrashing in his sleep. Rafe thinks a few more aspirin and a cold shower will bring down whatever fever still lingers. He would like her to help him get to the shower. She does just that. He leaves the cell phone behind. Once he is out of the room, Sami grabs the cell and starts to gasp and dial. Enter Hilda, the good egg. "Put the phone down now!" She takes the cell away and warns poodle pants that using the phone could lead the killer to the doorstep. Sami freaks out. Hilda assures her they are getting closer to the killer so it will be but a wee longer. She and Rafe will not let anything happen to her.
Then it's off, to attend to a case she is working on. She is also knitting baby booties for Sami's baby! Hilda gives back the phone after Sami pinky swears she will not use it. Exit Hilda.

Lucas points out the decision was entirely Kate's so she could focus on health and family. Enter Kate, who confirms this and adds "If you love someone, set them free." Chelsea asks why she dropped the doc. Kate thinks it is not her business. Chelsea presses. Did they have a fight? Kate assures her that she is fine and will be more comfortable with Daniel as her doctor, no more. Chels wonders how Dan is taking it. Kate jokes he must be devastated over losing a woman like her.
The very poised Chelsea is sorry and hopes Kate does not feel alone.Lucas returns and the smiles continue. Kate credits Lucas with part of her change in attitude.

"Me too," Dan whispers and grabs her in a passionate kiss, shutting the door. They get hot and heavy until Chloe breaks away and tells him to never do that! He insists he is the one person she can be honest with. She suspects he just wants to have a fling. Dan says that is not what he wants. Chloe does not want to hurt Lucas. Dan asks how she feels. "You're with Kate and I'm with Lucas, end of story." Dan, however, feels their story has not even begun! He says he is no longer with Kate. Chloe pauses.
